The Black Thread

&quot;It’s all too saddening that when people think of “Black Leaders” they rarely is EVER consider black women. Since it’s black history month, let’s name a few.

Bessie Coleman: first African American licensed pilot, Madame C.J. Walker: first African American millionaire, Sojourner Truth: feminist, writer, and former slave (Over 6ft of black power), Harriet Tubman: Freed over 300 slaves “I would’ve freed more had they known they were slaves”, Ruth Simmons: first black president of an Ivy league college (Brown University), Toni Morrison: first black noble prize winner for literature, Hattie MacDaniels: first African American to win an Oscar, Althea Gibson: first African American to play at Wimbledon, Vanessa Williams: first black Miss America, Oprah Winfrey: first African American BILLIONAIRE and countless other BLACK LEADERS!&quot;

if anyone is interested in malcolm x's speech i recommend these books. Read both of them myself very great reads.

Recommended Malcolm X book #3: “Malcolm X: The Last Speeches” by Bruce Perry (1989).“Six never-before-published speeches and interviews by Malcolm X. Included are the final two speeches in print by him prior to his assassination on February 21, 1965. These newly available works shed light on Malcolm X’s political evolution during the last months of his life and reaffirm his place among the outstanding revolutionary leaders of the twentieth century.”

Recommended Malcolm X book #1: “The Last Year of Malcolm X: The Evolution of a Revolutionary” by George Breitman (1967).“By the editor of three volumes of Malcolm X speeches, all published by Pathfinder Press: Malcolm X Speaks (1965), Malcolm X on Afro-American History (1967) and By Any Means Necessary (1970).This book is a full-scale study of Malcolm X’s political development after he left the nation of Islam. The author analyzes the split between Malcolm and Elijah Muhammad, the evolution of Malcolm’s views on organizing the Black community, on making alliances, and on questions of separatism and Black nationalism. The appendix contains the programmatic statement of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, founded by Malcolm X shortly before his [assassination], and a bibliography listing of books, pamphlets, tapes, and records. ”

@trolos714 bruh trust me its happening we just dont see it all the time. Go to Rio or Paulo in brazil, dark skinned Brazilians are treated like spit, you would think it was 1960. Only in culture rich places in brazil will you find a sense of acceptance.

I can only talk from personal experience and with the experience that my family shares with me. I've been to England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Canada. I've been treated with the utmost respect in all of those countries(except france) and I've asked people who lived there who are black how they like it there, and they don't seem to ever have problems. I can't really say much about Brazil, because I've never been there nor do I know anyone who's ever been there, but I know a lot of black people live there.

right but if you are muslim or a gypsy or eastern european in those countries youre probably treated as bad as black people are here.

^word, i don't think i know a single person who is racist towards black people in scandinavia either, we only hate middle eastern people round here

I had a friend who was black that studied abroad in Sweden, and he never wanted to leave. I myself have never been to Scandinavia, but would like to go. Seems cool over there.Also on another note. Where does everyone live? Do you guys experience racism or prejudice in your community?
